Girls' trip pick! 5 Stylish Cafes in Mexico City
📍 Juárez Havre 73, Juárez, Cuauhtémoc, 06600 Ciudad de México, CDMX
First up is a popular cafe in the Juárez neighborhood, just a short walk from Paseo de la Reforma, the Mexico City equivalent of Marunouchi,"Café NIN".
As you might expect from a cafe produced by renowned Mexican female chef Elena Reygadas, the interior is thoughtfully designed, and the menu is full of delicious, healthy options that women absolutely love.
One absolute must-try is the "Rollo de Guayaba," a pastry filled with guava and cream cheese!
It pairs perfectly with coffee or tea.
They also have an extensive menu, so it's a great spot for breakfast or brunch.
"Chilaquiles" is a popular breakfast dish among locals, featuring fried corn tortilla chips topped with a special sauce, avocado, and cream cheese.
There are also plenty of vegetarian-friendly and healthy food options, so it's a great choice if you've had a few too many tacos and want something a little lighter.
📍[Polanco]Emilio Castelar 149 (Anatole France) 11950 Ciudad de México, CDMX
📍[Condesa]Av. Tamaulipas # 130, Colonia Condesa, Cuauhtémoc, 06170 Ciudad de México, CDMX
Next up is "Budapest Café Cukrászda."
It has two locations: one in the upscale Polanco district, known as Mexico City's Ginza or Omotesando, and one in Condesa, often compared to Daikanyama in Tokyo. (The photos are of the Polanco location.)
As the name suggests, Budapest Cafe is Mexico's only Hungarian-style cafe.
Its antique interior makes you feel as if you've stepped into Europe.
The top recommendation is the cakes, all handmade in-house.
Everything is delicious, but the one you absolutely have to try is the cheesecake!
It's generously topped with blueberry sauce, creating a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess. They also offer a wide selection of teas, making it ideal for tea lovers too.
📍[Roma] Calle de Durango 330, Roma Nte., Cuauhtémoc, 06700 Ciudad de México, CDMX
"Isabella Café" is located in the Roma-Condesa area, where stylish restaurants and cafes line the streets in Mexico City.
Roma is also the setting of the Oscar-winning Netflix film "ROMA," and it's well known among locals for its many trendy restaurants and cafes.
The lovely pink interior here is irresistibly girly and charming♡
Even the drinks and cakes are pink, which instantly lifts your mood!
The top pick is the pastel-colored smoothie.
With whipped cream on top, it's guaranteed to look great in photos!
The food menu ranges from Mexican dishes to pasta, so it's also a convenient lunch spot with friends.
📍Av Michoacán 27, Hipódromo, Cuauhtémoc, 06170 Ciudad de México, CDMX
"Churrería El Moro" is a long-established churro shop founded in 1935.
Its original location is in Centro, but a few years ago it began expanding as a chain, and now you can find it all over Mexico City.
The white-based interior with blue lettering has a retro look that's incredibly cute!
The staff uniforms are adorable too, which makes the whole experience even more fun! Every location has an open kitchen, so it's also exciting to watch them being made right in front of you.

Churros
Limited Valentine's edition for February
The must-order here is, of course, the churros. You can choose from two kinds of sugar toppings for their original-recipe churros, so be sure to go for the Mexican-style cinnamon sugar! Another great point is that everything is made in-store, so they're always served freshly fried. We recommend dipping the warm, crispy churros into hot cocoa.
📍Av. Álvaro Obregón 86, Roma Nte., Cuauhtémoc, 06700 Ciudad de México, CDMX
The concept of "El Pendulo" is "Cafebrería," a coined term in Japanese meaning a combination of "cafe + library."
Just as the name suggests, it's a cafe where you can relax surrounded by books, and the moment you step inside, you'll be amazed by the walls lined with countless books! It's irresistible for book-loving girls.
There is an actual bookstore attached, so you can buy a book and start reading it right there.
Also, unusually for a cafe, they serve alcohol too, making it a handy spot for a casual drink! From Mexican craft beer to wine, there's plenty to choose from, so definitely give something a try.
The food menu also ranges from light bites to burgers, so you can sip a drink, read a book, and unwind at your own pace.
